Sharon Donovan/Home

Sharon Donovan was born on September 1st, 1995 in New Orleans, Louisiana. A birth defect left her with undeveloped vocal chords and an inattentive mother left her in the care of child social services when she was still a toddler. Diagnosed as Autistic at an early age, the mute child spent her childhood bouncing from one foster home to another in a city that hovered on the brink of disaster. When disaster came in August of 2005, just before her 10th birthday, the little girl's life changed forever.

Sharon awakened while the city of New Orleans was facing the brunt of Hurricane Katrina. Though she has never shared the details of the experience with fellow awakened, one media story does mention an adolescent girl who was discovered alone in the wreckage of a house that was abandoned when it's family fled to Houston, Texas ahead of the dangerous storm. The young autistic mute was different after her rescue. There was a confidence in her that superseded her young age and an air of control over her fate that did not exist before.

After New Orleans recovered, Sharon returns to the foster homes and care shelters where she thrived in school. Other awakened were met along the way and by the age of sixteen, she had joined the Cult of Ecstasy and disappeared shortly after. The young woman has since popped up in various cities over the years, most notably spending the greater part of a year in Austin, Texas. She arrives in Prospect, California a couple of years ago though has remained on the outskirts of Mage society so far.
